In particular, I was trying to setup an alias for my name server. The reason is to look like 2 different name servers are running on 2 different domains. For example: ns.company-a.com 1.1.1.1 ns.company-b.com 2.2.2.2 Both would actually be ns.company-a.com (1.1.1.1), but company-b would look like they were running their own name server. I tell you that named code is so poor (patched), I can't figure what the heck is going on. I am surprised it works at all! As Internet users become more sophisticated, they will run whois queries to see who is really running their own server -- I would like to make it virtually impossible to detect that my clients do not actually run their own server. **************************************** John Clark jc@netview.net NetView Communications http://www.netview.net ****************************************
